W960 in a P1’s body

Posted by Michell | October 29th, 2007

Now here’s something very interesting. It seems that Martin Vagner from uiqmania.cz has successfully flashed his P1 to a W960! However at a first look, Memory Stick Micro cards won’t work and the QWERTY won’t function either. Check out the video below, and see the discussion here.

Open letter to SE’s new CEO

Posted by Michell | October 13th, 2007

The open letter to Sony Ericsson’s soon-to-be CEO, Mr. Hideki (Dick) Komiyama, about the future of UIQ (3) and the P990’s faulty past, is a letter I took part of signing yesterday. I think it’s very important that Sony Ericsson realizes that consumers don’t want to be beta-testers, but want a product, that’s usable once it’s released. A thing the P990 wasn’t. In fact P990 had some many bugs, that a lot of users sold their phone before the first firmware update was out.

The firmware updates didn’t change much, and the last of these, is still buggy. If you experienced this, or just don’t want it to happen, then speak up, and sign this open letter at the My-Symbian forum thread, where more than 100 people so far have signed it. Of course, you’ll be required to sign up at the forum and won’t be able to post anything in the first 24 hours due to security reasons, but please don’t forget about it! Simply use this thread, and sign it now! On the left & right are the current Sony Ericsson UIQ 3 phones, and more of these will come this Monday - that’s how many phones this is regarding!

The open letter can be found here, if you missed the link above.

Sony Ericsson P1 comes with a GPS!!

Posted by Michell | July 27th, 2007

The new Sony Ericsson P1 comes bundled with a Bluetooth GPS from Wayfinder and the software (Wayfinder Navigator 7) is pre installed when buying the phone. Included is a 1-year subscription to the service. All you have to do is activate the service, and you should be ready to go!

Earlier today Wayfinder said, that they’d received to gigantic orders for GPS units and navigation software. Reportedly, it was an order from a “big mobile manufacturer” - Sony Ericsson, as we’ve just found out.

This makes the P1 be more like the N95, and I’m seriously considering getting the P1, too, along with my N95 and P990. Should be a nice little family, don’t you think? Well, I should be getting a test unit soon, so will see if it’s something for me ;) By the way, this is for selected markets only.

Earlier on Sony Ericsson stated that there would be no further firmware updates available for Sony Ericsson M600, P990 & W950.
